Chapter 16: CHAPTER 16: Next Stop!
"Bara Bara: Emergency Exit!!"
The moment Buggy turned around and saw Luffy, he activated his ability decisively.
His body shot out and broke into several pieces, floating in the air, trying to escape from above.
But before he could act, his left foot was violently stomped on by Luffy, making him wince in pain.
"Ouch, that hurts!!!"
The sound of his painful scream echoed across the sky.
"Ah, don't even think about running clown."
Luffy stepped on Buggy's foot, even using Haki in a friendly manner, his tone sounding somewhat mocking.
"I know all about your abilities, so stop this nonsense and hand me the navigation map of the Grand Line."
"It hurts, it hurts... Let go! Let go! Okay! I'll give you the navigation map, you can keep it!"
Buggy promptly surrendered and admitted defeat.
Damn, who is this guy?!
He even knows my weaknesses!
The biggest flaw of his Bara Bara no Mi is that his feet must touch the ground when splitting, and his ability range is only 200 meters.
Luffy reached out and pulled Buggy's head toward him, then moved his foot away and jumped off the roof.
"Lead the way, no tricks."
"I understand, I surrender. If you wanted the navigation map, you should have said so before. It can be copied, after all. We are sea comrades, we must share it with each other..."
Buggy was very aware of the situation and spoke as his right hand, floating behind Luffy, suddenly shot out three flying knives, launching a surprise attack.
"Just just: Split Cannon!"
The flying knives hit Luffy's back, but made a sound like metal clashing.
"Are you stupid? Who shouts the name of the attack during a surprise attack?" Luffy looked at Buggy mockingly.
Buggy's eyes widened, "Haki?!"
Damn, finding a Haki user in East Blue!
This kind of ability is extremely rare, even in the first half of the Grand Line.
"This guy isn't being honest." Zoro put away his weapon and approached.
Luffy raised his head to look at Buggy, a gentle smile appearing on his face.
Buggy's red nose began to drip with snot as he smiled awkwardly.
"Um, it's a misunderstanding..."
Afterwards, he was beaten mercilessly.
"Come on, Nami, go get the sea navigation map. Zoro, tie all the pirates here."
"Yes~"
Nami quickly followed.
------
Not long after.
The Buggy pirate crew members were all escorted to a warship.
They also obtained the navigation map of the Grand Line.
As for Buggy's personal treasure, it naturally couldn't escape Nami's watchful eyes and was completely taken away.
With a total value of over ten million berries, everything was taken away.
Ultimately, Buggy himself was thrown into the battleship by Luffy and had Kairoseki handcuffs placed on him.
"Keep an eye on this guy, don't let him get away. Deal with this pirate crew like the ones you caught."
"Yes!"
The sailors cheered excitedly.
This is a famous East Blue pirate crew, and they did not expect such an achievement on this voyage.
Truly worthy of Luffy-sama!
Luffy didn't care at all.
Having the 153rd branch of the navy follow him to Cocoyasi Village for a month, it's only fair to give them some rewards. This way, the team will be easier to deal with.
"Let's go to the next stop."
Waving his hand, Luffy returned to Sunny.
Only then did he have time to take a look at the system prompt.
[You have reached the new island, Orange Town, and obtained 100 adventure coins.]
They're back, everyone's back.
The Six Style Fruits that Nami ate in the morning are back now.
"Unfortunately, there still hasn't been a new ship today. After we resolve the issue with Nami's hometown, the warship will have to return... Where will Zoro stay then?" Luffy thought to himself.
Staying outside the ship?
Just kidding, Luffy had a good idea.
Immediately, he said to Nami, who was holding a pile of treasures with shining eyes:
"Nami, where's the next stop?"
"Huh? What did you say, Luffy?"
Nami was completely immersed in the ocean of money.
Buggy's treasure was made up of gold and silver jewelry, piled high and shining brightly.
Although there were only 10 million.
"You want?" Luffy walked over and crouched down next to Nami.
"Yes, I want it! Will you give it to me, Luffy?"
Nami's hands were pressed against her face in a sign of excitement.
"Cough cough, I'm a little thirsty..."
Luffy touched his throat.
Nami ran into the kitchen like a gust of wind and poured a glass of water from the fridge. "Luffy-sama, please drink this~"
Luffy: "..."
Amused, he took a sip from the glass and asked again, "What's our next destination?"
"The next stop? It's Syrup Village."
Syrup Village... the village where Usopp is located.
Luffy nodded understandingly.
The problem with the ship could be resolved in a completely different way.
There was no need to buy it with precious adventure coins.
Syrup Village... that village had a rich, sick young girl, and she had a ship!
"On to the next stop! Syrup Village!"
-------
After a series of water fetches and back rubs to please Luffy,
In the end, Nami finally got what she wanted: a third of Buggy's treasure.
The other two-thirds naturally belonged to Zoro and Luffy.
Of course, Luffy planned to distribute it this way from the beginning, but he couldn't help but tease Nami when he saw how much she wanted it.
This girl was really easy to understand.
It took another two days to navigate from Orange Town to Syrup Village.
During these two days, the adventure store finally restocked a Haki Fruit.
Luffy spent 200 adventure coins to buy it and awakened the last type of Haki, Conqueror's Haki, which could not be obtained through training!
Now, he already possessed Conqueror's Haki, what he lacked was mastery.
This could not be rushed.
Furthermore, he also tried to teach Zoro Armament Haki, but there wasn't much progress.
Anyway, two days later.
[You have reached the new island, Syrup Village, and obtained 100 adventure coins.]
